The customer had originally bought a conservatory with a polycarbonate roof some time ago! About 6 years ago he changed the polycarbonate for a solar control glass roof but although the rain noise was reduced he still found the conservatory unusable in summer and winter! In both cases it was way Too Hot in Summer and Too Cold in Winter. 3rd time lucky some might say, now that you can change your conservatory roof to a solid tiled roof or use a solid Insulated panel. The homeowner can now finally make the most of the extra room in any season.
The new solid tiled roof will provide the energy efficiency for all seasons.
No more cold
No more magnification of the sun, No more glare.
No more rain noise.
You could say a perfect room for any season.
The Installation was a total re build roof, we constructed a subframe out of timber to take the new roof, we had to increase the roof pitch to 14 degrees. The tiles need to be at a minimum pitch of 14 degrees to ensure water cannot get under the tiles in bad weather.As you can see the tiled roof looks great externally and internally we put 70mm Insulation between the joists, plasterboard which was then skimmed, to finish the roof and to create plenty of light we installed 6 spotlights into the ceiling.
This Solid Tiled Roof has a U-Value of 0.15 and is 14 times more energy efficient than the original glass roof.
Their are 3 completely different ways to change your conservatory roof to a solid roof.

In this building project we used Option 1, Build around the existing roof to achieve a solid tiled roof.
